Winter parking ban in effect Friday morning

With snow forecast, HRM advises residents that the overnight winter parking ban will be enforced Friday morning.

Vehicles are not allowed to be parked on city streets between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. Friday in Zone 1 Central and Zone 2 Non-Central.

Planters, lawn decorations, and other portable objects near the sidewalk should be removed. Any permanent structures or objects too big to move should be marked with a reflector visible above the snow to help crews identify obstacles.

Vehicles obstructing a driveway or sidewalk are prone to damage and become dangerous for crews. They prevent the proper clearing of the sidewalks, which can quickly become an accessibility issue for pedestrians, seniors, people with mobility issues, and parents pushing strollers.

Residents also reported that it is against By-Law S-300 to throw or pile snow in the street or on the sidewalk.
